Most of these would be happier with a set of obstacles to negotiate. Viaduct Joey has won four times over jumps but is proving no slouch in similar races around here having been placed twice recently. He was behind On The Motorway a fortnight ago when the latter defied a 66/1 SP with a cracking run behind Heart In The Air. Sir Mark Prescott couldn't get a race out of Mountain Kingdom and the recent import may do better when sent hurdling. SMILER landed a handicap over hurdles at Galway in October and pulled too hard when making his debut here last month. In the hope that Ross Coakley can restrain him, he's handed the vote. Mysticaltou made a successful racecourse debut over hurdles in September and, though out of form subsequently, it would be no shock to see her bounce back.
